I have found over the years that praying for my family has ensured their safety in many, many ways. I pray for each one of them every day first thing in the morning, and God has been faithful to watch over them. I am so grateful to Him.
Yesterday, as my daughter was driving home from work (and most of this drive is on freeways), she suddenly felt something pushing her sideways. It was a semi-truck! She was in a traffic lane which would take her to another freeway, and the semi-truck came from somewhere behind her and just started moving into her lane. She was able to pull over and stop (and so did the truck). Her car was damaged, but she was not hurt! This could have been so much worse!
The truck driver was very apologetic and showed genuine concern for her. As they talked he said to her, “God was on your side.” Once again the Lord was so faithful in caring for a member of my family! When she was alone in a frightening situation she received encouragement from the Lord from the driver of the truck which hit her! She was not alone at all in her circumstance...
So great is the faithfulness of God...
“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not. They are new
every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV
